Cele Richardson is a Clinical Psychologist and Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychological Science and Centre for Sleep Science at the University of Western Australia. Cele is currently a NHMRC Emerging Leadership Fellow.

Cele’s research primarily focuses on sleep and mental health in young people. In particular, Cele has worked to develop the evidence base for novel treatments for sleep problems such as Delayed Sleep Wake Phase Disorder and Insomnia in paediatric populations. Most recently, Cele has moved into applying these effective sleep treatments to other populations, such as in young people with depression. Sleep and mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety and eating disorders, commonly co-occur and Cele works to elucidate mechanisms linking sleep with social emotional problems in adolescence.

Ultimately, through her research and clinical practice, Cele aims to optimise sleep and mental health in young people.
